Things are happening in our societies that we not only need to speak about but also should engage meaningful actions that will see control of the damage.
Since the future of Kenya’s tomorrow is our children its become a public burden on realisation that young girls are being trapped by early pregnancies which many have turned out not to be from consensual sex but rather from either manipulation or rape.
Speaking in Parliament with regard to latest report by the Kenya Demographic Health Survey (KDHS) which highlighted skyrocketing cases of defilement, Senator Mutula Kilonzo called on elected leaders to spearhead the fight to save children from sex predators.
According to the report, Narok had highest prevalence levels of teenage pregnancies at 40%, followed by Homa Bay at 33%, West Pokot 29%, Tana River 28% and Nyamira at 28%. “We have allowed moral decadence in Kenya to an extent of lowering threshold of sexual intercourse to 10-year-old children. I got my relative life imprisonment for impregnating a Standard Six girl and after that, men feared to even look at school girls. We need to do something as leaders because this is happening in our backyards,” Mutula said.
The senator who is also a managing partner at Kilonzo and Company Advocates said he would never represent people facing charges of defilement and child molestation saying male children were also victims of sodomy.
